      I can't block out time because I am production support. There is no such thing as blocking out time.

              You can multi-task though. The pace of webinars is normally pretty slow.

                Yes, I can often do that, except that I often get pulled into meetings that cause issues.

                  My philosophy is that webinars should be educational - you do a good job at that and then you earn a short pitch for the product at the end. I can't believe vendors won't give you a demo and want you to watch a webinar instead. I'd always have time to demo Webroot for anyone who wants it.

                    Exactly @Nic! Webinars that are for true training purposes are great! But if a sales person isn't willing to take the time to work one on one. Not worth it.

                      Yep, if they're a pain in the ass before the sale, imagine how bad it will be after. I also like to call tech support before the purchase just to see how long the queues are, and how competent their support is.

                        That's a neat trick. I shall try that next time 😄
